'Witch Mountain' vets return for remake

Two of the child stars of the original Witch Mountain movies have signed to appear in the remake.

Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann will star in new film Race to Witch Mountain, Disney's re-imagining of 1975 adventure Escape to Witch Mountain.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Everett Scott, Chris Marquette, Billy Brown and Cheech Marin have also joined Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Ciaran Hinds and Carla Gugino in the cast.

The film focuses on two orphans (Alexander Ludwig, AnnSophia Robb) with paranormal abilities who, with help from a Las Vegas taxi driver (Johnson), are on the run from a sinister group (led by Hinds) looking to exploit their powers.

In a reference to the original movie, Eisenmann plays a sheriff and Richards a waitress at a roadhouse called Ray's in a town named Stony Creek.

Scott, Marquette and Brown work for Hinds's character, while Marin plays a helpful mechanic.
